Misplaced your Aadhaar e-KYC card? No longer do you have to worry about it. The UIDAI has started an online service of Aadhaar e-KYC card re-print since the 1st of December 2018. This new service launched by the UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) allows people to apply for a reprint of Aadhaar card after paying a nominal fee. This service will be beneficial for those people who have lost or misplaced their Aadhaar card.
Things Necessary For Applying For An Aadhaar Re-Print
You can get a reprint of your Aadhaar card by paying Rs.50 as a nominal fee. This amount is inclusive of charges for speed post and GST. Within 5 working days, the reprinted Aadhaar card will be handed over to the Indian Speed Post. The mail will be delivered to the address that you've registered online.
To request a reprint of your Aadhaar card you need to either use your Aadhaar card number (UID) or your Virtual Identification Number (VID). You need to have a valid mobile number registered with the Aadhaar database because an OTP will be sent to that particular number while applying for a re-print.
